Featured review
I love Rajnikant films. But somehow I feel he is kind of tangled to mass image and his usual image of style king since long time which is kind of hurting for his films. Though movie is perfectly made for Rajni fans, which reflects in first half, but somehow it didn't actually worked in second half. The end twist seems forced and purposefully made to make the film work for less film aware audience. Nawaaz was actually not needed in lot ways to be frank, and Vijay Sethupathi didn't had any role in true sense. Infact he could have been the main villain. Many characters are not used to it's fullest and sort of missed out by the end. First half I felt could have been improvised to bring character introduction to Vijay, and many others to give equal weight for the ending it was drawing. For Rajni fans it's surely awesome film, but if one see this movie as a story, it kind of falls short. And it's Rajnikanth who is upholding the whole movie in a way. Any other new actor would have suffered terrible if played this character. Not boring for sure but one time watch for fun.
